Pontiac VIN Decoder

Welcome to PontiacChieftain.com

A resource dedicated to the 1949–1954 Pontiac Chieftain. Decode your vehicle’s VIN, explore the original shop manual, find parts, and access recommended community resources for Pontiac Chieftain enthusiasts.

Currently, the information here primarily supports U.S. models. However, I’ve recently added support for Canadian Serial Numbers, with more resources to follow soon.

1949–1954 Pontiac VIN Decoder

Enter your VIN (example: P8US1001):

Where to find your VIN:

Your car's serial (VIN) is located in three places:

  1. A stainless steel plate on the driver’s side "A" pillar (windshield post area).

  2. A flat pad on the front left of the engine block, just below the cylinder head.

  3. Stamped on top of the frame under the driver floor board.

    * Often inaccessible unless the floor pan is removed, though it may be seen with a mirror or traced with a pencil on paper.
